BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present disclosure relates to an optical image capturing system, and more particularly to a compact optical image capturing system which can be applied to electronic products.

2. Description of the Related Art

In recent years, with the rise of portable electronic devices having camera functionalities, the demand for an optical image capturing system is raised gradually. The image sensing device of ordinary photographing camera is commonly selected from charge coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal-oxide semiconductor sensor (CMOS Sensor). In addition, as advanced semiconductor manufacturing technology enables the minimization of pixel size of the image sensing device, the development of the optical image capturing system directs towards the field of high pixels. Therefore, the requirement for high imaging quality is rapidly raised.

The traditional optical image capturing system of a portable electronic device comes with different designs, including a second-lens or a third-lens design. However, the requirement for the higher pixels and the requirement for a large aperture of an end user, like functionalities of micro filming and night view, or the requirement of wide view angle of the portable electronic device have been raised. But the optical image capturing system with the large aperture design often produces more aberration resulting in the deterioration of quality in peripherical image formation and difficulties of manufacturing, and the optical image capturing system with wide view angle design increases distortion rate in image formation, thus the optical image capturing system in prior arts cannot meet the requirement of the higher order camera lens module.

Therefore, how to effectively increase quantity of incoming light and view angle of the optical lenses, not only further improves total pixels and imaging quality for the image formation, but also considers the equity design of the miniaturized optical lenses, becomes a quite important issue.

The relative proportions and ratios of elements in the drawings may be exaggerated or diminished in size for the sake of clarity and convenience in the drawings, and such arbitrary proportions are only illustrative and not limiting in any way. The same reference numbers are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.

It will be understood that, although the terms ‘first’, ‘second’, ‘third’, etc., may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. The terms are used only for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another component. Thus, a first element discussed below could be termed a second element without departing from the teachings of embodiments. As used herein, the term “or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

An optical image capturing system, in order from an object side to an image side, includes a first, second, third and fourth lens elements with refractive power. The optical image capturing system may further include an image sensing device which is disposed on an image plane.

The optical image capturing system uses three sets of wavelengths which are 486.1 nm, 587.5 nm and 656.2 nm, respectively, wherein 587.5 nm is served as the primary reference wavelength and 555 nm is served as the primary reference wavelength of technical features.

A ratio of the focal length f of the optical image capturing system to a focal length fp of each of lens elements with positive refractive power is PPR. A ratio of the focal length f of the optical image capturing system to a focal length fn of each of lens elements with negative refractive power is NPR. A sum of the PPR of all lens elements with positive refractive power is ΣPPR. A sum of the NPR of all lens elements with negative refractive powers is ΣNPR. It is beneficial to control the total refractive power and the total length of the optical image capturing system when following conditions are satisfied: 0.5≦ΣPPR/|ΣNPR|≦4.5. Preferably, the following relation may be satisfied: 1≦ΣPPR/|ΣNPR|≦3.5.

The height of the optical image capturing system is HOS. It will facilitate the manufacturing of miniaturized optical image capturing system which may form images with ultra high pixels when the specific ratio value of HOS/f tends to 1.

A sum of a focal length fp of each lens element with positive refractive power is ΣPP. A sum of a focal length fn of each lens element with negative refractive power is ΣNP.

The third lens element may have positive refractive power. Hereby, the positive refractive power of the first lens element can be shared.

The fourth lens element may have negative refractive power and a concave image-side surface. Hereby, the back focal length is reduced for keeping the miniaturization, to miniaturize the lens element effectively. In addition, at least one of the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the fourth lens element may have at least one inflection point, such that the angle of incident with incoming light from an off-axis view field can be suppressed effectively and the aberration in the off-axis view field can be corrected further.

If the aperture stop is the middle aperture, the view angle of the optical image capturing system can be expended, such that the optical image capturing system has the same advantage that is owned by wide angle cameras. A distance from the aperture stop to the image plane is InS. The following relation is satisfied: 0.5≦InS/HOS≦1.1. Preferably, the following relation may be satisfied: 0.8≦InS/HOS≦1.
